Bio
Peter Swiderski
I supervised Anthony for several years while at FSVC. Anthony was a independent, diligent, smart, creative, well-spoken employee. He was "air dropped" into a very difficult environment where he set up a successful regional office, then set off to identify new projects for FSVC. He dealt well in a complicated environment, establishing strong relationships with local funders, senior members of the administrations of the governments we dealt with, and our consultants. I would readily recommend Anthony in akmsot any position. He thinks on his feet, flexibly and cooperatively. He combines the ability to be independent, and yet upwardly manage his supervisors successfully. Just an excellent guy to work with.
